Rescue teams from Paramus and Fair Lawn extricated a driver and front-seat passenger after their car got wedged beneath a tractor-trailer in a horrific pre-dawn crash Saturday on Route 17, authorities confirmed.
The Amazon tractor trailer was parked on the side of the northbound highway in front of the Suburban Diner when it was slammed into shortly before 1:30 a.m., they said.
Members of the Paramus Rescue Squad and Fair Lawn Heavy Rescue worked intently to free the critically injured victims.
The driver remained in critical condition early Saturday, while the front-seat passenger was listed as critical but stable, Bergen County Chief of Detectives Robert Anzilotti said.
